This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Just buy one of the older editions of CoC.  There's a mountain of supplements and scenarios for them out there, and editions 1 through 6 are pretty interchangeable.

Ehh, 2nd/3rd through 6th are. 1st had clunk, and things like Doctor's that didn't get enough points to build a Doctor. I'm not sure how much was ironed out in 2nd, but 3rd was definitely solid, and I've personally used 4th for 30 years without issue.

Thanks for the tip! It seems I'm in luck: There is just one Rulebook for a decent price for sale - only one within hundreds of miles, I send the seller an offer. The rulebook is 4e and 7 scenarios should get me started.

Start your group off with Edge Of Darkness. It's one of my favorite CoC adventures, and it's great for bringing new characters together.
I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

Cheers. If it's in the 4e I will start out with that.

Now i need to get some dice. Chessex does not seem woke so they might be a good choice.

Cthulhu Eternal is definitely the way to go. The core book (Jazz Age) is 100+ pages and seems pretty complete to me! There is a separate pdf called the Open Cthulhu Mythos SRD that covers spells, artifacts, tomes, cults, gods and monsters.

Is Cthulhu Eternal simply the English translation of the German rpg FHTAGN?

I believe it is not. I was looking at FHTAGN as well, and they seem to still be working on the translation.

Looking for props for Cthulu rpg, guess I have to look elsewhere. Supporting Burn Loot Murder and similar criminal organisations is a total no go. Purchasing through them will send money to the BLM supporting organisation NAACP.

This is from their site:

QuoteWe fully agree that Black lives matter. We can't change Lovecraft, but we can help change our world. We must evaluate the past unflinchingly, see the present honestly, and embrace changes to create a future that brings justice and equality to everyone. To pursue that change, the HPLHS donates a portion of its profits to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Further, we do our best to work with a diverse team of artists to ensure that the products we make are inclusive and welcoming to all.

I hereby request that:

The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society - HPLHS

should be added to the Redlist. HPLHS have been supporting NAACP financially that has openly supported BLM (known for felonies such as looting and rioting) - a very serious deal.

From HPLHS website:

From a NAACP director:

Quote"Groups like Black Lives Matter and others are important, and we appreciate and support what they do," said Hilary O. Shelton, director of the NAACP's Washington bureau, which lobbies Congress and other federal entities. "They shine a bright light on problems, which is a very important first step. Our role is to get the courts, the legislature and government agencies to address those problems."

This seems a bit Six Degrees to Kevin Bacon to me. The NAACP was traditionally a respectable organisation, and this statement supporting BLM seems pretty minimalist to me. If HPLHS has only shown support for the NAACP and not directly funding BLM, to me that shouldn't be a Red, otherwise I think you're in danger of purity spiralling.

I get what you're saying... And apart from supporting BLM I don't mind NAACP as such (what goes with civil rights etc. Fine by me!). But:


QuoteWe fully agree that Black lives matter.
That is quite a clear statement on the HPLHS website.

Also take a look at Sean Branneys profile on Facebook. He is woke, both on LGBTQ+ and BLM, there is no mistake about that.

So take it as you will, they are actively supporting the woke agenda, openly and clearly, and at the same time they are somewhat denouncing a man, who's work they are profiting from and at the same time using as a platform to promote their political agenda which is wrecking havoc in the western world right now.

I won't be sending any money in their direction.

Considering that the NAACP Legal Defense Fund is an entirely separate organization from the NAACP and has been since the 1950s, your argument that they're "supporting the NAACP" would seem to be a little specious.  IIRC, the NAACP has actually taken the LDF to court to try to get them to drop the "NAACP" from their title.  The LDF pretty much spends all of its money fighting any and every reasonable measure to keep voting honest.  So every dollar given to them helps perpetuate no voter ID, eternal mail-in ballots with no signature or proof of identity, no purging of the names of dead people from voter rolls, etc.  It's what they call "protecting our democracy" and what the rest of us call FRAUD.
